How to give download option using asp?

[guttalbhag <gu...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Iam working on generating reports using some asp files..

I want to give downloading option for the user, so that if user clicks
on it,he must be able to save that file in his system..(while running
the file in server..).

i wanted to know if there is any option for doing that using asp?

pls reply me soon... Today is the deadline....

Awaiting for help...

regards
bhargavi

The most basic method would be to have a folder (in the web root) which is
readable to all.
Then when you have your report data, write it out to a file in this
directory, then do something like:

"<a href=\"downloads/$filename\"> download </a>"

I hope this is what you are looking for.
